Billy Eichner: Mike Pence is a closeted gay<\/a> man<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Billy on the Street\u2019<\/em>s\u00a0Billy\u00a0Eichner took to Twitter this past weekend to express his belief that Vice President Mike Pence is a homosexual, as right-wing website Heat Street<\/em><\/a> none-too-fondly reports:<\/p>\n

\n

Pence is a closeted gay<\/a> man<\/a> who turned his self loathing into a political agenda 2 punish the part of himself he hates most. Enjoy the game!<\/p>\n

\u2014 billy eichner (@billyeichner) February 5, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Then there\u2019s this equally unsubtle Tweet:<\/p>\n

\n

Mike Pence is gay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Definitely succinct stuff.<\/p>\n

By this point, Pence is\u00a0probably used to being trolled on Twitter. He\u2019s already been lampooned by the likes of Mike Hot-Pence:<\/p>\n

He was also compared (unfavorably) to adult film star Brad Patton in memes such as this:<\/p>\n

Right now, there\u2019s an ongoing Reddit thread<\/a>\u00a0in which community members are weighing in on what exactly to do with the antigay politician and \u201cbest defend ourselves from losing the rights we worked so hard to get.\u201d<\/p>\n

John2Nhoj<\/a>\u00a0writes:<\/p>\n

\n

None of Pence\u2019s attempts at making laws against gays<\/a> survived here in Indiana, because large businesses that make up a great deal of the state\u2019s economy threatened to move out of the state.<\/p>\n

Also: unless one announces that they are gay<\/a> to every business they enter the business would have to prove they are gay<\/a>. It would surely generate a lot of law suits if business only guessed that people were gay<\/a>, refused to serve them and they weren\u2019t gay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lastly: one could and still can be fired for being gay<\/a> in Indiana long before Pence was in office here.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
